Biker Helmets

March 29, 2006|Sol Rogers Delray Beach

What is the matter with this state with a law on the books that anybody riding a motorcycle does not have to wear a helmet?

I didn't know about this until a dear friend informed me that his daughter and son-in-law were killed when their motorcycle collided with a truck while they were not wearing helmets. Both were in their late 30s, leaving two small children behind. This happened just a few weeks ago.

My friend has asked me to beg Gov. Jeb Bush along with the state senators and representatives to make it mandatory for motorcycle riders to wear helmets. At least 20 people have died from brain damage this year in this state due to motorcycle accidents.
